Ok so I have a 98.5 contour svt which i had noticed for a long time had a significant loss of power above 3800rpm. There is no CEL or anything. I searched around the boards for a long time and thought it was the IMRC. I took off the cover, and checked as best as i could tell to see that the IMRC was opening the secondary. I finally gave up and took it to the dealer and told them to check the IMRC and anything else it could be.
THe dealership drove the car and tested it and told me 100% it was a clutch problem (seemed odd to be bc the car has 60k miles). I took the car out of the dealership and called around till i got the best price quote on a clutch and 3rd gear syncrho replacement (had them both done while the tranny was out).
Well now, $1600 later, the car still does not have power at the high rpms. ANy ideas? Should i try and just buy an IMRC and see if that does it?
Sorry for the long post but im real frustrated since i just spent so much money bc of the stupid stealership. I need help!
